Hi all.
I just got a long beep on my UPS after overclocking my Gigabyte Windforce GTX970 to about 1550Mhz core clock. I haven't tampered with voltage or mem clock settings at all.
The beep stopped after I brought the clock down to stock. The official Cyberpower site states that the long beep means that I've overloaded the UPS. Is this true?, Because I've never had this problem with the unit before. Thanks in advance!
 
Solution
Yes. You must be at the very maximum of what the UPS can support. By overclocking the graphics card you put just a little more load on the PC power supply which then put more load on the UPS. You need a larger UPS or less things connected to it.
